(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.02(b) or Section 3.04, each share of common stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company (collectively, the “Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $29.25 per Share (such amount, the “Merger Consideration”) without interest. As of the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each of them shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(b) Each Share held by the Company as treasury stock (other than Shares in a Company Plan) or owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto (the

“Cancelled Shares”). Each Share held by any Subsidiary of the Company (or any Subsidiary of Parent (other than Merger Sub)) immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, shall be converted into such number of shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation such that each such Subsidiary owns the same percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such Subsidiary owned in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Converted Shares” and together with the Cancelled Shares, the “Excluded Shares”).

(c) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation (except for any such shares resulting from the conversion of Converted Shares, if any, pursuant to Section 3.02(b)).

Section 3.03. Surrender and Payment. (a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited, with a nationally recognized financial institution selected by Parent with the Company’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders (other than holders of Dissenting Shares or Excluded Shares), a cash amount in immediately available funds necessary for the Paying Agent to make payments contemplated by Section 3.02(a) (such cash being referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). With respect to any Dissenting Shares, Parent shall only be required to deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Dissenting Shares if the holder thereof fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or losses its appraisal rights under the DGCL. The Paying Agent shall also act as the agent for the Company’s stockholders for the purpose of receiving and holding the stockholders’(i) certificates representing Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated Shares represented by book-entry (the “Uncertificated Shares”) but shall acquire no rights or interests in Shares represented thereby. The Paying Agent agreement pursuant to which Parent shall appoint the Paying Agent shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent. The Paying Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 3.02(a) shall be promptly returned to the Surviving Corporation. The Paying Agent shall make delivery of the aggregate Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) (i) Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within two (2) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate representing Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section

3.08) to the Paying Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 3.08) in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 3.08) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.07) equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 3.08) multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any holder of Uncertificated Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.02(a). In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Uncertificated Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration in respect of each such Share, and the Uncertificated Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 3.

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 3.03(a) (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that

remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares twelve months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged such Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such Shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

Section 3.04. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 3.02, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal, such Dissenting Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. As of the Effective Time, the Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to seek appraisal under Delaware Law. The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall have effectively waived, withdrawn or lost its rights under Section 262 of Delaware Law with respect to any Dissenting Shares, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be treated as though they had been converted into the aggregate Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 3.02(a).

Section 3.05. Treatment of Equity Awards. Except as otherwise agreed in writing between Parent and a holder of an option to purchase Shares granted under any Company Plan (each, a “Company Option”), each Company Option, whether vested or unvested and whether subject to time-based or performance-based vesting, that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of such Company Option, become fully vested and exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment from Parent to the holder thereof, equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration less the applicable per share exercise price of such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares subject to such Company Option, payable at the next practicable payroll of the Company following the Effective Time.

(b) Except as otherwise agreed in writing between Parent and a holder of a restricted stock unit, performance stock unit or similar right granted under any employee or director plans or arrangements payable in Shares or the value of which is determined with reference to the value of Shares granted under any Company Plan (each, a “Company Stock Unit”) which is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and which has vested (or by its terms is scheduled to vest) as of or prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company Stock Unit”)) shall, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of such Vested Company Stock Unit, be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment from Parent to the holder thereof equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares underlying such Vested Company Stock Unit, payable at the next practicable payroll of the Company following the Effective Time.

(c) Except as otherwise agreed in writing between Parent and a holder of a Company Stock Unit, at the Effective Time, each Company Stock Unit which is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and which has not vested as of or prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Company Stock Unit”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of such Unvested Company Stock Unit, be cancelled, and in substitution thereof, such holder will be eligible to receive a cash payment from Parent (the “RSU Payment”) equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares underlying such Unvested Company Stock Unit, which, for any Unvested Company Stock Unit subject to satisfaction of performance criteria, shall be calculated assuming satisfaction of such criteria at target achievement. The RSU Payment shall initially be unvested, and (i) to the extent such payment relates to an Unvested Company Stock Unit that was subject to time-based vesting, shall vest, subject to continued employment or service, based on the same vesting schedule applicable to such cancelled Unvested Company Stock Unit, and (ii) to the extent such payment relates to an Unvested Company Stock Unit that was subject to performance-based vesting, shall vest, subject to continued employment or service, on the last day of the performance period applicable to such cancelled Unvested Company Stock Unit, in each case subject to any applicable vesting of such Unvested Company Stock Units upon a termination of the holder’s employment under the applicable Company Plan and award agreement relating to the original Unvested Company Stock Unit.

(d) The Company shall take all actions necessary to provide for the continuation of, and shall not cause or permit the termination prior to the Closing of, the OncoMed Specialty 2014 Phantom Stock Plan, the Amerita, Inc. 2013 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, such that all awards issued thereunder shall remain outstanding and no acceleration of vesting with respect to any such awards occurs as a result of the transactions contemplated herein.

(e) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Board or committee thereof, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.05.

Section 3.06. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class (including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of Shares, or stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, but excluding any change that results from any exercise of Company Options or settlement of Vested Company Stock Units), the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 3.07. Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent (and any of their Affiliates) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the applicable Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 3.08. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 3.

Article 6
Representations and Warranties of Parent

Parent represents and warrants to the Company that:

Section 6.01. Corporate Existence and Power. Each of Parent and Merger Sub is duly organized, validly existing and in (where applicable) good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all corporate powers required to carry on its business as now conducted, except for any failure to be so organized, existing and in good standing and any failure to have such powers as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Merger Sub was organized solely for the purpose of consummating the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.04. Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (a) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of any provision of the organizational documents of Parent or Merger Sub, (b) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 6.03, contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Applicable Law or (c) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 6.03, require any consent or other action by any Person under, constitute a default under, or cause or permit the termination or cancellation of any agreement binding upon Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, with only such exceptions, in the case of each of clauses (b) through (d), as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.05. Proxy Statement. (a) The information with respect to Parent and any of its Subsidiaries that Parent supplies to the Company specifically for use in any Company Disclosure Document (including the Proxy Statement) will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading at the time of the filing of such Company Disclosure Document or any supplement or amendment thereto and at the time of any distribution or dissemination thereof.

(b) The representations and warranties contained in this Section 6.05 shall not apply to statements or omissions included or incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement based upon information supplied in writing to Parent or Merger Sub by the Company or any of its Representatives specifically for use or incorporation by reference therein.

Section 6.06. Finders’ Fees. There is no investment banker, financial advisor, broker, finder or other intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub who is or will be entitled to any fee or commission prior to the Closing from the Company or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.07. Financing. (a) Parent has delivered to the Company complete, correct and fully executed copies of (i) all commitment letters or other agreements (provided, that provisions in the fee letter relating solely to fees and economic terms agreed to by the parties may be redacted (none of which redacted provisions adversely affect the availability of or impose additional conditions on, the availability of the Debt Financing (as defined below) at the Closing) (the “Debt Commitment Letters”) to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party relating to any debt financing to be obtained by Parent and its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Debt Financing”) and (ii) equity commitment letters (the “Equity Commitment Letters” and, together with the Debt Commitment Letters, the “Commitment Letters”) from each of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. and KKR Americas Fund XII L.P. (each, an “Equity Investor”) pursuant to which each Equity Investor has committed to provide cash equity to Parent in the respective aggregate amount, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”) (the Equity Financing, together with the Debt Financing, collectively referred to as the “Financing”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Financing Sources” means, collectively, the sources of Financing of any Commitment Letter.

(b) As of the date hereof, each of the Commitment Letters is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding obligation of Parent, the Equity Investors (in the case of the Equity Commitment Letters) and, to the knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto (except insofar as such enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions). As of the date hereof, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, breach or failure to satisfy a condition precedent on the part of Parent or any of its Affiliates or, to the knowledge of Parent, any other party thereto, in each case, under the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letters, other than any such default, breach or failure that has been waived by the lenders or otherwise cured in a timely manner by Parent to the satisfaction of the lenders, and, assuming (A) the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article V, (B) the performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of their obligations contained in this Agreement and (C) the conditions set forth in Section 10.01 and Section 10.02 are satisfied at Closing, Parent has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters will not be satisfied on a timely basis. There are no side letters, other agreements, contingencies or conditions precedent to the obligations of counterparties to the Commitment Letter to provide the Financing or that would permit such counterparties to reduce the total amount of the Financing, except as set forth or described in the Commitment Letters. The aggregate proceeds of the Debt Financing, the Equity Financing and the cash or cash equivalents held by Parent and the Company, as of the Effective Time, will be sufficient to enable Parent and Merger Sub to pay in cash all amounts required to be paid by them in cash on the Closing Date in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and to pay their respective related fees and expenses (the “Required Amount”).

(c) Parent and Merger Sub expressly acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder, including their obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, are not subject to, or conditioned on, receipt of financing.

Section 6.08. Limited Guarantee; Support Agreement. (a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent has delivered to the Company a limited guarantee of each Equity Investor, dated as of the date of this Agreement, in favor of the Company with respect to certain obligations of Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement (each, a “Limited Guarantee”). Each Limited Guarantee is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the respective Equity Investor party thereto, enforceable (except insofar as such enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions) against such Equity Investor in accordance with its terms. As of the date hereof, there is no default under the Limited Guarantees by the Equity Investors, and no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder by the Equity Investors.

(b) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Equity Investors have delivered to the Company the Support Agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement, in favor of the Company. The Support Agreement is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Equity Investors, enforceable (except insofar as such enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions) against the Equity Investors in accordance with its terms. As of the date hereof, there is no default under the Support Agreement by the Equity Investors, and no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder by the Equity Investors.

Section 6.09. Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no claim, action, suit or proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries before (or, in the case of threatened actions, suits or proceedings, that would be before) or by any Governmental Authority, or any order, injunction, judgment, decree or ruling of any Governmental Authority outstanding against the Parent, in each case, except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.10. Ownership of Shares. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is, or at any time during the last three years has been, an “interested stockholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 203 of Delaware Law. Prior to and as of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has taken, or authorized any Representative of Parent or Merger Sub to take, or has knowledge that any Representative of Parent or Merger Sub has taken, any action that would cause either Parent or Merger Sub to be deemed an “interested stockholder” within the meaning of Section 203 of Delaware Law. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub nor any of their affiliates or associates (as defined in Section 203 of Delaware Law) owns (within the meaning of Section 203 of Delaware Law) any Shares or holds any rights to acquire any Shares, except pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 6.11. Absence of Certain Agreements. As of the date hereof, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any contract, arrangement or understanding (in each case, whether oral or written), or authorized, committed or agreed to enter into any contract, arrangement or understanding (in each case, whether oral or

written), pursuant to which any stockholder of the Company would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount or nature than the Merger Consideration.

Section 6.12. Management Agreements. Other than this Agreement, as of the date hereof, there are no contracts, undertakings, commitments, agreements or obligations or understandings between Parent or Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and any member of the Company’s management or the Board, on the other hand, relating in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the operations of the Company after the Effective Time.

Section 6.13. Acknowledgement of No Other Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Article 5, each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, at law or in equity, is made or shall be deemed to have been made by or on behalf of the Company to Parent or Merger Sub, and each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby disclaims reliance on any such other representation or warranty, whether by or on behalf of the Company, and notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to Parent or Merger Sub, or any of their Representatives or Affiliates, of any documentation or other information by the Company or any of its Representatives or Affiliates with respect to any one or more of the foregoing. Each of Parent and Merger Sub also acknowledges and agrees that the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to any projections, forecasts or other estimates, plans or budgets of future revenues, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows (or any component thereof) or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the future business, operations or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives or Affiliates.

(b) The Company shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the return or the destruction of, in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement and to the extent the Company is entitled to have such information returned or destroyed, confidential information previously furnished by the Company, its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Representatives to any such Person in connection with the consideration of any Acquisition Proposal and (ii) cause any physical or virtual data room to no longer be accessible to any such Person in connection with the consideration of any Acquisition Proposal other than the Company, Parent and their respective Affiliates and Representatives.

(i) If, after receipt of a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (if the Company did not materially violate Section 7.03(a)) from any Person or group, the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal

counsel and financial advisers, that such Acquisition Proposal is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal and that failure to take the actions set forth in clauses (A) or (B) would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Company, directly or indirectly through any of its Representatives or other intermediaries, may (A) engage in negotiations or discussions with such Third Party with respect to such Acquisition Proposal and (B) furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a Third Party Confidentiality Agreement; provided that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party and that the Company complies with Section 7.03(d);

(ii) the Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change if, after receipt of a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (if the Company did not materially violate Section 7.03(a)) from any Person or group that has not been withdrawn, (X) the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisers, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal (and continues to be a Superior Proposal after the Company has complied with Section 7.03(e)) and failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law and (Y) the Company has complied in all material respects with Sections 7.03(d) and (e); and

(iii) the Company may terminate this Agreement to enter into Acquisition Proposal Documentation with respect to a Superior Proposal if, after receipt of a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (if the Company did not materially violate Section 7.03(a)) from any Person or group that has not been withdrawn, (X) the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisers, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal (and continues to be a Superior Proposal after the Company has complied with Section 7.03(e)) and failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (Y) the Company has complied in all material respects with Sections 7.03(d) and (e); and (Z) the Company pays in immediately available funds the Company Termination Fee to Parent concurrently with such termination.

In addition, without prejudice to the provisions of Section 7.03(a) or Section 7.03(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company or the Board may (i) take and disclose to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the 1934 Act (or any similar communication to stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer) or make any legally required disclosure to stockholders with regard to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal (provided

that neither the Company nor the Board may recommend any Acquisition Proposal unless permitted by this Section 7.03(c)), (ii) issue a “stop, look and listen” disclosure or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the 1934 Act or (iii) contact and engage in discussions with any Person or group and their respective Representatives who has made an Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited in breach of this Section 7.03 solely for the purpose of clarifying such Acquisition Proposal and the terms thereof to determine whether there is a reasonable probability that such Acquisition Proposal is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal.

“Third Party Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such confidentiality agreement may contain a provision that does no more than permit the counterparty to make a confidential proposal to the Company; provided that such confidentiality agreement shall permit the Company to share such proposal to Parent. To the extent the Company enters into such confidentiality agreement, the Confidentiality Agreements shall be deemed to be amended to contain only such less restrictive provision.

(d) Required Notices. The Company shall notify Parent within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Person that has notified the Company that it may be considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall include the identity of such Person, the material terms of any Acquisition Proposal and copies of any written materials submitted in connection with any Acquisition Proposal and the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status and material terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposal (including any change to the financial terms or other material changes to the terms thereof and by providing to Parent copies of any material written materials relating to such Acquisition Proposal that have not already been so provided) or the nature of any information requested of the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect thereto.

(e) Last Look. Neither the Board nor the Company shall make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 7.03(c)(ii) or terminate this Agreement to enter into Acquisition Proposal Documentation with respect to a Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 7.03(c)(iii) unless, promptly after the Board has made the determination set forth in clause (X) of Section 7.03(c)(ii) and/or clause (X) of Section 7.03(c)(iii) following receipt of a bona fide Acquisition Proposal (so long as the Company did not materially violate Section 7.03(a)), (i) the Company shall have notified Parent (the “Determination Notice”), in writing and at least three Business Days prior to taking such action, of its intention to take such action, specifying, in reasonable detail, the reasons for the Adverse Recommendation Change and/or the reasons the Company intends to terminate this Agreement (including, in each case, a description of the identity of the Person making the Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and copies of the most recent drafts of any Acquisition Proposal

Documentation), (ii) the Company shall have given Parent three Business Days after the delivery of the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal and, if requested by Parent, the Company shall have negotiated with Parent in good faith during such three Business Day period, (iii) after considering the proposals made by Parent, the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that failure to make the Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law. The provisions of this Section 7.03(e) shall also apply to any revision to the financial terms of any Acquisition Proposal or other material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal and any such revision or amendment shall require the delivery of a new Determination Notice, except that all references in this Section 7.03(e) to three Business Days shall be deemed to be two Business Days.

(f) Definition of Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, unsolicited Acquisition Proposal for at least a majority of the outstanding Shares or all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on terms that the Board determines in good faith (after taking into account any revisions to the terms of the transaction proposed by Parent including as contemplated by Section 7.03(e)), after consulting with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors), is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, and would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s stockholders (in their capacities as such) from a financial point of view than the Merger (after taking into account any revisions to this Agreement made or agreed to by Parent in writing prior to the time of such determination).

Article 8
Covenants of Parent

Parent agrees that:

Other than (i) with respect to the Debt Financing and other matters that are the subject of Section 8.06, which shall be governed solely by Section 8.06, or (ii) with respect to obtaining approvals or clearances (including antitrust or competition approvals or clearances) from any Governmental Entity required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and any actions (including Antitrust Actions) or failure to take any actions (including any Antitrust Actions) related thereto), which shall be governed solely by Section 9.01, from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, Parent shall not take any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.02. Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 8.03. Director and Officer Liability. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation hereby agrees, to do the following:

(a) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless the present and former directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents of the Company and its Subsidiaries and any individuals serving in such capacity at or with respect to other Persons at the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ request (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof) in respect of the Indemnified Persons’ having served in such capacity prior to the Effective Time, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law or any other Applicable Law or provided under the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws in effect on the date hereof. If any Indemnified Person is made party to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to matters that would be indemnifiable pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Parent shall, and shall cause the Company to, advance fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) as incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with and prior to the final disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in each case to the extent the Company is required to do so and on the same terms as provided in the Company’s bylaws as of the date hereof.

(b) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect provisions in the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or in such documents of any successor to the business of the Surviving Corporation) regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents and advancement of fees, costs and expenses that are no less advantageous to the intended beneficiaries than the corresponding provisions in existence on the date of this Agreement.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor and comply with their respective obligations under any indemnification agreement with any Indemnified Person that were provided to Parent prior to the date hereof, and not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such agreement in any manner that would adversely affect any right of any Indemnified Person thereunder.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies

and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), which D&O Insurance shall (i) be for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) be from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance and (iii) have terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against an Indemnified Person by reason of him or her having served in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby). If the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall continue to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time, the D&O Insurance in place with the Company’s current insurance carrier or with an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies, or the Surviving Corporation shall purchase from the Company’s current insurance carrier or from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than as provided in the Company’s existing policies; provided that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies pursuant to this sentence an annual premium amount in excess of 300% of the premium amount per annum for the Company’s existing policies; and provided, further, that if the aggregate premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(e) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 8.03.

(f) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 8.03 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under Delaware Law or any other Applicable Law or under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person.

Section 8.04. Employee Matters. (a) For a period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or, such shorter period of employment, as the case may be), each Company Service Provider who continues to provide services to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries (each, a “Continuing Employee”) shall receive from Parent or Merger Sub (i) salary, annual cash bonus opportunity, wages or commissions as whole that is no less favorable than the salary, annual cash bonus opportunity, wages or commissions as whole provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate, as applicable, provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date under the Company Plans.

(b) With respect to any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries, commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or, such shorter period of employment, as the case may be), Parent shall provide or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, termination-related payments and benefits to such Continuing Employee, that are no less favorable than those provided under any Company Plan; provided that, Parent’s obligation to provide such Continuing Employee with such termination-related payments and benefits shall be subject to such Continuing Employee’s execution, delivery and non-revocation of a customary general release in favor of the Company, Parent and their respective Affiliates.

(c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor the bonus plans or arrangements in place for Continuing Employees for the Closing Fiscal Year. To the extent that the Closing occurs prior to the payment of bonuses in respect of the 2017 Fiscal Year of the Company, the Surviving Corporation will pay the annual bonuses to participating Company Service Providers in respect of Fiscal Year 2017 in the ordinary course and based upon actual results for Fiscal Year 2017, but not less than the Pro Rata Bonus Amount applicable for each such Continuing Employee, in each case subject to such Continuing Employee’s continued employment with the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries through the bonus payment date. To the extent that the Closing occurs prior to the establishment of bonus opportunities for Fiscal Year 2018, each Continuing Employee will be granted an annual bonus opportunity for the Closing Fiscal Year that is no less favorable than the annual bonus opportunity such Continuing Employee enjoyed under the bonus plans or arrangements for the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year.

(d) As of the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and any of its respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective third-party insurance providers or third-party administrators to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) waive all limitations as to any pre-existing condition, limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods in its applicable health and welfare plans with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) under any health and welfare plans that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Time and (ii) credit

each Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) for any copayments, deductibles, offsets or similar payments made under any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the plan year (which includes the Acceptance Time) for purposes of satisfying any applicable copayment, deductible, offset or similar requirements under the comparable plans of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(e) As of the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and any of its and their respective Subsidiaries to, give Continuing Employees full credit for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting, but not benefit accruals, under any employee benefit plans or arrangements maintained by Parent, Merger Sub or an applicable Subsidiary (other than any retiree medical plans) that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Time for such Continuing Employees’ service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer), to the same extent that such service was credited for purposes of any comparable Company Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that it would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(f) Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to assume and honor, in accordance with its terms, each Company Plan set forth on Section 8.04(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and all obligations thereunder, including any rights or benefits arising as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or in combination with any other event, including termination of employment).

(g) Without limiting the generality of Section 12.06, the provisions of this Section 8.04 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former Company Service Provider or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 8.04. Nothing herein shall be deemed to establish, amend or modify any Company Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or prevent Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates from (A) amending or terminating any particular benefit plan in accordance with its terms or (B) terminating the employment of any particular Company Service Provider.

Section 8.06. Financing. (a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on terms and conditions consistent with the Debt Commitment Letters.

subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions within its control to obtaining the Debt Financing on terms and conditions consistent with those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters and (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on terms and conditions consistent with those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters or on other terms and conditions acceptable to Parent which would not (x) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing when the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount or (y) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the receipt of the Debt Financing, in the case of this clause (y) that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the Closing.

(b) Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision (including any remedy) under, or voluntarily replace (it being understood that any Alternate Financing shall not be deemed a voluntary replacement for purposes of the sentence), the Commitment Letters if such amendment, modification, waiver or voluntary replacement (i) adds new (or adversely modifies any existing) conditions to the consummation of the Debt Financing or Equity Financing as compared to those in the Commitment Letters as in effect on the date of this Agreement, (ii) adversely affects the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letters as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, relative to the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against such other parties to the Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof, (iii) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing less than the Required Amount, or (iv) would otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no consent from the Company shall be required for: (A) any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification of a Debt Commitment Letter that is limited to adding lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed such Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement (including in replacement of a lender), (B) implementation or exercise of any “flex” provisions in effect as of the date hereof or (C) any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to the Commitment Letters so long as such action would not be prohibited by the foregoing clauses (i)-(iv).

(c) Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice of (i) any default or breach (or any event that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any default or breach) by any party under any of the Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware, (ii) any termination of any of the Commitment Letters, (iii) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any (A) actual or potential default, breach, termination or repudiation of any Commitment Letter, any definitive agreement relating to the Financing or any provision of the Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing, in each case by any party thereto, or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Commitment Letters or the definitive

agreements relating to the obligation to fund the Financing (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the Financing or definitive agreements related to the Financing), and (iv) if for any reason Parent or Merger Sub believes in good faith that it will not be able obtain Financing in an amount equal to the Required Amount, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing, as the case may be. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date the Company delivers to Parent or Merger Sub a written request, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters (including the flex provisions), Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative debt financing (“Alternate Financing”) on terms that are no less favorable (including after giving effect to the flex provisions) to Parent, the Company and Merger Sub in any respect, in an amount, taken together with the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing and other funds available to Parent at Closing, to enable Parent and Merger Sub to pay the Required Amount. In the event any binding commitment letter, it being understood that Parent shall have no obligation to accept terms that are less favorable in any respect to Parent than those included in the Debt Commitment Letters (each such letter, a “New Debt Commitment Letter”) is obtained with respect to an Alternate Financing, Parent shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of such New Debt Commitment Letter. Any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letters” herein shall be deemed to include any Debt Commitment Letter to the extent not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter at the time in question and any New Debt Commitment Letter to the extent then in effect and any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” herein shall be deemed to include any Alternate Financing contemplate by a New Debt Commitment Letter.

would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.

(d) The Company shall, in accordance with its certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Applicable Law, promptly following the date of this Agreement, for the purposes of obtaining the Stockholder Approval, duly set a record date and duly call, give notice of, convene and hold as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date upon which the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC (with the record date and meeting date to be set by the Board in consultation with Parent regarding such dates), a meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking the Stockholder Approval. The Company may postpone, recess or adjourn the Stockholder Meeting (i) for one time only not to exceed ten (10) calendar days (unless Parent otherwise agrees in writing), if the Company reasonably believes that it will be unable to obtain a quorum of its stockholders at the Stockholder Meeting or it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Stockholder Approval or (ii) to allow up to ten (10) calendar days of additional time (commencing, if there has occurred any Adverse Recommendation Change, on the date of such Adverse Recommendation Change has been made (for the avoidance of doubt, after the expiration of any time periods contemplated in the definition thereof)) for the filing and distribution of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company Board has determined in good faith is necessary under Applicable Law.

(e) Subject to the ability of the Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 7.03, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the Stockholder Approval, and the Board shall make the Company Recommendation with respect to the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, and shall include both the Company Recommendation as well as a description of the other Board Actions in the Proxy Statement.

Except in connection with actions taken pursuant to Section 7.03, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release, having any communication with the press (whether or not for attribution) or making any other public statement, or scheduling any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except in respect of any public statement or press release as may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association, shall not issue any such press release or make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference or conference call before such consultation provided, however that Parent shall be permitted to make public announcements opposing any Acquisition Proposal or Adverse Recommendation Change that has been publicly disclosed.

Section 9.05. Further Assurance. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 9.06. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, each party shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Shares in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including derivative securities of such Shares) by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act with respect to the Company and will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Parent to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act.

Section 9.07. Notices of Certain Events. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other of:

(a) any written notice or other written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

Section 9.08. Stock Exchange De-listing. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under Applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NYSE to enable the de-listing by the Surviving Corporation of the Company Securities from the NYSE and the deregistration of the Company Stock under the 1934 Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no more than ten days thereafter.

Section 9.09. Litigation and Proceedings. Except as provided in Section 3.04 and Section 9.01, the Company shall control the defense or settlement of any litigation or other legal proceedings against the Company or any of its directors relating to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the Company shall give Parent reasonable opportunity to participate, at

Parent’s expense, in such litigation or other legal proceedings; and provided, further, that the Company agrees that it shall not settle any such litigation or other legal proceedings without the prior written consent of Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to consent to any settlement that does not include a full release of Parent and its Affiliates or that imposes an equitable remedy upon Parent or its Affiliates including, after the Effective Time, the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, any matters related to Dissenting Shares shall be governed exclusively by Section 3.04 and not this Section 9.09, and any matters related to antitrust or competition clearances or approvals, or any litigation or proceeding pursuant to any antitrust or competition law, shall be governed exclusively by Section 9.01 and not this Section 9.09.

Section 12.03. Amendments and Waivers.

Section 12.04. Expenses. (a) General. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

(b) Termination Fees.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 11.01(c)(i) or by the Company pursuant to Section 11.01(d)(i), then the Company shall pay to Parent (or its designee) by wire transfer of immediately available funds the Company Termination Fee, in the case of a termination by Parent, within one Business Day after such termination and, in the case of a termination by the Company, concurrently with, and as a condition to, such termination. For purposes hereof, “Company Termination Fee” means $33 Million.

(ii) If (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 11.01(b)(i) or Section 11.01(b)(iii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 11.01(c)(ii), (B) after the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination, any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make an Acquisition Proposal or an Acquisition Proposal shall have become publicly known, and (C) within twelve months after the date of such termination, the Company enters into any Acquisition Proposal Documentation with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (regardless of whether such Acquisition Proposal is the same one referred to in clause (B) above) (provided that for purposes of this clause (ii)(C), each reference to “15%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%”), then the Company shall pay to Parent (or its designee) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, concurrently with the execution of such Acquisition Proposal Documentation, the Company Termination Fee.

(iii) If this Agreement is terminated:

(A) by the Company pursuant to Section 11.01(d)(ii) or Section 11.01(d)(iii) if in either case, at the time of such termination, the Company is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(B) by the Company pursuant to Section 11.01(d)(iv) if, at the time of such termination, the Company is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(C) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 11.01(b)(i) if, at the time of such termination, (x) Section 10.01(b) or Section 10.01(c) has not been satisfied, in the case of Section 10.01(c), as a result of any injunction or other order by a Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction in connection with the HSR Act or any other applicable competition or antitrust law, and including, without limitation, and in the case of Sections 10.01(b) and 10.01(c), as a result of Parent not agreeing to take an Antitrust Action that would constitute a Burdensome Condition, (y) as of the End Date, all of the other conditions set forth in Section 10.01 and Section 10.02 have been satisfied (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of termination) (provided that, solely for purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in Section 10.02 have been satisfied, neither the failure of the condition set forth in Section 10.01(b) to be satisfied nor an injunction or other order by a Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction in connection with the HSR Act or any other applicable competition or antitrust law having occurred and that caused the failure of the condition set forth in Section 10.01(c) to be satisfied, in each case in and of itself, shall constitute a “Company Material Adverse Effect”), and (z) the Company is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

then Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Company in immediately available funds the Parent Termination Fee, within two Business Days after such termination; provided that, solely with respect to a termination of this Agreement in the circumstances described in clause (A) or (C) above, if at the time of such termination, (i) Parent or Merger Sub is in Willful Breach of Section 9.01 (to the extent related to or in connection with obligations thereunder to obtain antitrust or competition approvals or clearances from any Governmental Authority) and/or any Equity Investor is in Willful Breach of the Support Agreement, (ii) the Company shall have provided written notice to Parent and/or such Equity Investor, as applicable, regarding such Willful Breach and (iii) following the delivery of such notice, such Willful Breach (if curable) was not cured by Parent, Merger Sub and/or such Equity Investor(s), as applicable, within 30 days of receipt of such notice (or, if earlier, by the End Date) and this Agreement is then terminated in the circumstances described in clause (A) or (C) above, then Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Company in immediately available funds the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee, within two Business Days after such termination. For purposes hereof, (A) “Parent Termination Fee” means $56.6 Million and (B) “Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee” means $113.3 Million. For the avoidance of doubt, and not withstanding anything to the contrary, the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee may only be available to the Company, subject to the above terms and conditions, in connection with a Willful Breach by Parent or Merger Sub of Section 9.01 (to the extent related to or in connection with obligations thereunder to obtain antitrust or competition approvals or clearances from any Governmental Authority) or by either (or both) of the Equity Investors of the Support Agreement, and in no other instance.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section and such Company Termination Fee is paid in full, Parent and Merger Sub shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company, at law or in equity or otherwise, and neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, stockholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) The parties agree that the Company Termination Fee, the Parent Termination Fee and the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee are liquidated damages and not penalties, and the payment of the Company Termination Fee, the Parent Termination Fee or the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee, as applicable, in the circumstances specified herein is supported by due and sufficient consideration. Accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay the Company Termination Fee, Parent Termination Fee or the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee, as applicable, due pursuant to this Section 12.04 and, in order to obtain such payment, either Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences a suit against the other party that results in a judgment for the payment of the Company Termination Fee, the Parent Termination Fee or the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee, as applicable, the party paying such fee shall also pay to the other party interest on such fee at the annual rate equal to the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made, through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law (“Interest Expense”). The parties agree and understand that in no event shall Parent be required to pay both the Parent Termination Fee and the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination, it being understood and agreed that only one payment of either the Parent Termination Fee or the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee shall ever be payable hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company terminates this Agreement, the Company’s right to receive the payment of either the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iii), if any, or the payment of the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iii), if any, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether such remedy is sought in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Company, the stockholders of the Company and their respective Affiliates against Parent, the Equity Investors, the Financing Sources, and any of their respective former, current and future holders of any equity, partnership or limited liability company interest, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, affiliated (or commonly advised) funds, representatives (including attorneys), members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders, or assignees (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”), and any of their respective Non-Recourse Parties (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) for any loss, damage or other liability of any kind suffered as a result of any breach (including any Willful Breach) of any

representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Limited Guarantees or the failure of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Limited Guarantees to be consummated, in each case, in any circumstance in which the Company is permitted to terminate this Agreement and receive the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iii) or the payment of the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iii). If the Company terminates this Agreement in a circumstance in which Parent is obligated to pay to the Company either the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iii) or the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iii), as applicable, upon payment of either the Parent Termination Fee (and any Interest Expense) or the payment of the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee (and any Interest Expense), as applicable, none of the Parent Related Parties and Lender Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Commitment Letters, the Limited Guarantees or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Limited Guarantees (or the failure of any such transactions to be consummated) or as a result of any loss, damage or other liability of any kind suffered as a result of any breach (including any Willful Breach) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Limited Guarantees, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective stockholders or Representatives may seek to recover any other monetary damages from or seek any other remedy against any Parent Related Party or any Lender Related Party based on a claim in law or equity with respect to, any matter relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Commitment Letters, the Limited Guarantees or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Limited Guarantees (or the failure of any such transactions to be consummated), including, without limitation, (i) any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated, (ii) the termination of this Agreement or (iii) any liabilities or obligations arising under this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Limited Guarantees or any loss, damage or other liability of any kind suffered as a result of any breach (including any Willful Breach) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Limited Guarantees, provided, however that nothing herein shall limit the rights and remedies of the Company and its Affiliates under the Confidentiality Agreements.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any circumstance in which the Company is not permitted to terminate this Agreement and receive either the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iii) or the Willful Breach Antitrust Termination Fee pursuant to Section 12.04(b)(iii), as applicable, in no event shall the Company or the stockholders of the Company and their respective Affiliates be entitled to monetary damages (whether such damages are sought in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise), individually or in the aggregate, in excess of an amount equal to the amount of the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, for any loss, damage or other liability of any kind suffered as a result of any breach (including any Willful Breach)

under this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Commitment Letters, the Limited Guarantees, or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Limited Guarantees (or the failure of any such transactions to be consummated). In no event shall the Company or the stockholders of the Company or their respective Affiliates seek to recover monetary damages from any Parent Related Party (other than Parent under the terms of this Agreement and the parties to the Confidentiality Agreements under the terms thereof) or from any Lender Related Party. The Parent Related Parties and the Lender Related Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section.

Section 12.05. Disclosure Schedule. The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of either the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) any other representations and warranties of the relevant party that are contained in this Agreement, (other than Section 5.10(a)), but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties is reasonably apparent. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty (or covenant, as applicable) shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable.

Section 12.06. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment. (a) Subject to Section 12.06(b), the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 8.03, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and other than the right of any holders of Shares, Company Options and Vested Company Stock Units to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of their Shares, Company Options and Vested Company Stock Units, as contemplated by Article 3.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto; provided, that, prior to the time that the Proxy Statement is mailed to the Company’s stockholders, Parent may designate, by written notice to the Company, another wholly owned direct or indirect Subsidiary in lieu of Merger Sub, in which event all references herein to Merger Sub shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary, except that all representations and warranties made herein with respect to Merger Sub as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation; provided, further that any such assignment or designation shall not and would not be reasonably expected to impede or delay the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise materially impair or impede the rights of the Company’s

stockholders under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation or other transfer in violation of this Section 12.06(b) shall be void.

Section 12.07. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

Section 12.08. Jurisdiction. (a) The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be brought in the Delaware Chancery Court or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 12.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties acknowledges and irrevocably agrees (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates): (i) that any claim, action or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, involving any of the Lender Related Parties arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Debt Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of New York in the borough of Manhattan and any appellate court thereof, and each of the parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court with respect to any such claim, action or proceeding; (ii) not to bring or permit any of their affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such action, claim or proceeding in any other court; (iii) that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective addresses provided in the Debt Commitment Letter will be effective service of process against them for any such action, claim or proceeding brought in any such court; (iv) to waive and hereby does waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action, claim or proceeding in any such court; (v) that any such action, claim or proceeding will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York; and (vi) agrees that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

Section 12.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE DEBT FINANCING).

Section 12.10. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by each other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 12.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreements constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 12.12. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party; provided that, the parties intend that the remedies and limitations thereon contained in Section 12.04 (Expenses) be construed as an integral provision of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that increases a party’s liability or obligations hereunder or under the Commitment Letters or the Limited Guarantee. Upon such a determination of severability pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 12.13. Specific Performance. (a) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, subject, in the case of specific enforcement of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger (and/or draw down the proceeds of the Equity Financing) only, to Section 12.13(b), the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement or the Commitment

Letters, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or the Commitment Letters by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Commitment Letters to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other (as applicable) under this Agreement or the Commitment Letters, without proof of actual damages or inadequacy of legal remedy and without bond or other security being required, and this right shall include the right of the Company to cause Parent or Merger Sub to fully enforce the terms of the Commitment Letters, including by requiring Parent and Merger Sub to file one or more lawsuits against the Financing Sources to fully enforce the Financing Sources’ obligations under the Commitment Letters. The pursuit of specific enforcement or other equitable remedies by any party hereto will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy (whether at law or in equity) to which such party may be entitled at any time.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (1) in no event shall the Company be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger if a Debt Financing Failure has occurred and (2) the Company shall be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger (and/or draw down the proceeds of the Equity Financing) if and only if (i) all conditions in Section 10.01 and Section 10.02 have been satisfied (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction of those conditions at the Closing) at the time the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 3.01(b), (ii) the Debt Financing provided for by the Debt Commitment Letters is available for immediate drawdown in accordance with its terms if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing and (iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing that if specific performance is granted, then the Company will take such actions to ensure that Closing will occur. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and payment of the Parent Termination Fee.

Section 12.14. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that it is specifically intended that (A) the Indemnified Persons (solely with respect to Section 8.03), (B) the Lender Related Parties (solely with respect to Section 12.04(e) and (f) (Expenses), Section 12.08 (Jurisdiction), Section 12.09 (Waiver of Jury Trial), Section 12.12 (Severability), this Section 12.14 (No Third-Party Beneficiaries) and Section 12.15 (No Recourse) and (C) the Parent Related Parties (solely with respect to Section 12.04(e) and (f) (Expenses), Section 12.07 (Governing Law), Section 12.08 (Jurisdiction), Section 12.09 (Waiver of Jury Trial), Section 12.12 (Severability), this Section 12.14 (No Third-Party Beneficiaries) and Section 12.15 (No Recourse)) are third-party beneficiaries of this relevant provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12.15. No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this

Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto and no Parent Related Party (other than the Equity Investors to the extent set forth in their respective Limited Guarantee) or Lender Related Party shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Without limiting the rights of the Company against Parent or Merger Sub hereunder, in no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates, and the Company agrees not to and to cause its Affiliates not to, seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Parent Related Party (other than any payment from each Equity Investor to the extent set forth in their respective Limited Guarantee) or Lender Related Party.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

PHARMERICA CORPORATION

FIRST: The name of the corporation (which is hereinafter referred to as the “Corporation”) is PharMerica Corporation.

SECOND: The registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is located at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, County of Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, and the name of the registered agent of the Corporation whose office address will be the same as the registered office is Xxxxxx Fiduciary Services (Delaware) Inc.

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), as from time to time amended.

FOURTH: The total number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 1,000, all of which shares shall be Common Stock having a par value per share of $0.01.

FIFTH: In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law, subject to any limitations contained elsewhere in this certificate of incorporation, bylaws of the Corporation may be adopted, amended or repealed by a majority of the board of directors of the Corporation. Election of directors need not be by written ballot.

SIXTH: No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as currently in effect or as the same may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this ARTICLE SIXTH shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, repeal or modification. If the DGCL is amended after the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

SEVENTH: (a) The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law as it presently exists and may hereafter be amended, indemnify any person who was

or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (a “Proceeding”), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she (or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative) is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, and may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such a Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; except that in the case of a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (1) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such Proceeding, and (2) no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to paragraph (e) of this ARTICLE SEVENTH, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify a director or officer of the Corporation in respect of a Proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such director or officer, unless such Proceeding (or part thereof) has been authorized in the specific case by the board of directors. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

(b) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in paragraph (a) of this ARTICLE SEVENTH or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

(c) Any indemnification of a present or former director or officer of the Corporation under paragraph (a) of this ARTICLE SEVENTH (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation unless a determination is made that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is not proper in the circumstances because he or

she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraph (a) of this ARTICLE SEVENTH. Any indemnification of a present or former employee or agent of the Corporation under paragraph (a) of this ARTICLE SEVENTH (unless ordered by a court) may be made by the Corporation upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraph (a) of this ARTICLE SEVENTH. Any such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

(d) To the fullest extent not prohibited by law, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a current or former director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however, that such advancement of expenses shall, to the extent required by law, be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this ARTICLE SEVENTH.

(e) Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this ARTICLE SEVENTH, or advance of costs, charges and expenses to a director or officer under paragraph (d) of this ARTICLE SEVENTH, shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE SEVENTH is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within thirty (30) days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved such request. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnity or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this ARTICLE SEVENTH shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification or advancement, in whole or in part, in any such Proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such Proceeding (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under paragraph (d) of this ARTICLE SEVENTH where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in paragraph (a) of this ARTICLE SEVENTH, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraph (a) of this ARTICLE

SEVENTH, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(f) The foregoing indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director, officer, employee and agent who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the DGCL are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any Proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a “contract right” may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such director, officer, employee or agent. The indemnification provided by this ARTICLE SEVENTH shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(g) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person or on such person’s behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this ARTICLE SEVENTH.

(h) If this ARTICLE SEVENTH or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director or officer and may indemnify each employee or agent of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to a Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this ARTICLE SEVENTH that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
